  • Personal individualization makes every Bugatti Divo unique

    It’s been nearly two years since the Bugatti Divo debuted. It dropped jaws way back in August 2018 with a winged body that emphasized downforce and handling over the Chiron’s blistering top speed. We haven’t really seen the Divo in public since then, and it’s not just because only 40 were slated for production. Deliveries for the exclusive hypercar haven’t even begun yet, that's about to change. Now Bugatti details how the cars are ordered and built. With the Divo, it’s not merely a case of a buyer checking off option boxes over a computer – prospective owners are invited to Bugatti’s headquarters in Molsheim where they choose individual colors, interior materials, even custom designs of their own creation. The process can take up to five hours, and as such, every Divo is a bespoke creation.

  • The new Bugatti Divo in Paris

    Curtains up for the Bugatti Divo. Bugatti has presented its latest model as a world premiere. With the Divo, the French luxury brand has developed a super sports car tuned for agility, nimbleness and optimum handling performance on winding roads. It is powered by Bugatti's iconic eight-litre W16 engine with a power output of 1,500 PS. The aerodynamics of the model have been intensively fine-tuned and the suspension and chassis settings have been modified. As a result, the Bugatti Divo is 35 kilograms (77 lbs) lighter and has 90 kilograms (198 lbs) more downforce than the standard Chiron. The lateral acceleration of the Divo has been boosted to 1.6 g. Its maximum speed is limited to 380 km/h (236 mph). The Divo can lap the Nardò handling circuit in southern Italy eight seconds faster than the Chiron. The series will only consist of 40 vehicles. Upon the start of presentations to selected customers, the strictly limited small series, with a net unit price of €5 million, sold out immediately.

  • Bugatti Divo unveiled by Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti

    The DIVO is the most agile and dynamic car BUGATTI has ever created - a perfect homage for the 110th anniversary, which will be held in 2019. A monumental driving machine, production will be strictly limited to just 40 units. Combining heart-stopping acceleration and greater downforce, it is made to excite – a car built for corners. Thanks to its optimal handling performance, the DIVO dances nimbly through curves; every bend becomes an exhilarating moment, a thrill that endures. The DIVO is a more extreme BUGATTI. It represents a new interpretation of our philosophy ‘form follows performance’ with an uncompromising pursuit of the utmost aerodynamic efficiency. To shape the future, we have embraced the past. The DIVO harks back to the golden era of coachbuilding, a proud tradition nearly a century old, by uniting a rolling chassis with a brand new body. The design is imposingly powerful and striking – unmistakably BUGATTI.
